John W. Wright is a literary agent with John Wright Literary Associates. He says: “I was a senior editor at the Oxford University Press for 13 years. I resigned from the press to pursue a writing career and start a new business as a packager of reference books, including The New York Times Almanac and The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge.

Along the way I began to represent a few writers and after 15 years or so the agency was recognized in the industry for the high quality of its authors. Today I have ready access to every major publisher and all of the leading editors of non-fiction books.”
